Spring Thief

Crossing through the bridge sitting high
Scattered through the clouds, peeking out was the blue sky
Nothing but the sweltering heat
So I'm waiting here for any sign of a breeze

And in the shade of the trees
It softly tickles my cheek
The falling blossoms above are all I can see

We're floating gently now, breathless as we flutter down
I can't bear to lose this view
Today the past will catch up to us at last
I pray the wind takes us soon
That's why we're speechless now, words are taken from our mouths
I can't bear to part from you
Simply falling from sun-covered skies
Spring is storming now, petals flying high

Meeting up again, our usual place
Visiting the flowers alone on this warm day
Where's the scent of spring I hold, oh, so dear?
Wonder if the summer's returning this year (hm?)

Crossing by the bridge sitting high
Just beyond the road, peeking out was your bright smile
Wondering how long is left 'til it's gone
Just how many springs can we both look upon?

From hills rolled over the stream (ooh-ooh)
And in the shade of the trees (uuh-uuh)
As always blooming above the spring covers me

With flowers floating now, breathless as we flutter down
I can't bear to lose this view
There's no mistaking how this storm of flowers blown about
Is really the spring thief we knew
The wind is blowing now, time is flowing all around
I can't bear to lift my shoes
Peeking in from the petals, the sky
Still the storm goes on, petals flying high

Today I'll meet up with you
Enjoy the shade in the blue
With sighs of worrying too
The flowers no longer bloom
Again I'll meet up with you
The spring's departing too soon
The little time we have left is trickling to rest

And filled with love, just plain words can't be enough
It's too much to rhyme this tune
'Bout this blooming spring, without the words for everything
I hope this song reaches you

We're floating gently now, words are taken from our mouths
I can't bear to lose this view
Just the two of us, spring-covered eyes
Keep on storming now, petals flying high

Just a handful of flowers to go
Keeping count of the flowers that go

Only two little flowers to go
Only one single flower to go
Only leaves bare of flowers are shown
Still so much to say, spring has blown away
